10 Signs You're From Fairfield County
WestportNOW

Do you ever think to yourself 'I just love home?' For me, home is Fairfield County, Connecticut; everyone from there will tell you that it's the best place on earth. When you venture off into the real world, you do and say things that you're used to at home, but you forget that no one understands the language or those food cravings like your peeps back home do. Here are 10 signs that you are from Fairfield County.

1. You crave Garden Catering way too often.

All you want to eat after a long day of work or school is a mixed high school special.

2. Greenwich Avenue sidewalk sales

Enough said, ladies and gentlemen.

3. Donut Delight over Dunkin any day

All hangovers are curable with some Donut Delight, and if anyone says "Let's go to Dunkin Donuts," you look at them funny.

4. You have a crazy amount of school spirit.

High school basketball and football games are a must. If you're not dressed in your school colors from head to toe, you're doing something wrong.

5. The student lot has nicer cars than the teacher's lot.

The student cars are of equal value to the yearly salary of your math teacher.

6. The Merritt is the only bearable highway.

Yes, the Merritt Parkway is pitch black at night, but it beats 1-95 any day.

7. The beach is the hangout spot.

Whether you're going to enjoy some sun rays with a couple friends or you need a good hangout spot to enjoy some Dairy Queen with your date, you can always go to the beach in the summer.

8. You know half of UConn's population.

Just about a quarter of your graduating class goes to UConn. If you're from Fairfield County, it's safe to say you have someone to visit!

9. Everyone thinks you're rich and stuck up.

Whenever you tell someone you're from Fairfield County, they automatically think you're the next Bill Gates.

10. The weather has no effect on you.

Whether there's a hurricane on the way or 30 feet of snow, we've seen a lot. Being from the northeast, you become used to Mother Nature lashing out.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
